This Technical RoadMap is based on the DSpace 2015-18 Strategic Plan - Technology and the Use Case Analysis produced by the DSpace RoadMap Working Group in April/May of 2015. The DSpace RoadMap Working Group consists of the members of DCAT, Committers and Steering Group: Tim Donohue (Lead, DuraSpace), Stuart Lewis (Edinburgh), Bram Luyten (@mire), Jonathan Markow (DuraSpace), Michele Mennielli (CINECA), Richard Rodgers (MIT), Ryan Steans (Texas Digital Library), Maureen Walsh (Ohio State).
While it is a living document, it was initially presented at both OR15 (week of June 8), and OAI9 (week of June 15).
Since 2015, ongoing Strategic Planning activities have taken place in DSpace Steering & Leadership Group Meetings.
The DSpace 7.0 release is under development and the latest status can be found at DSpace Release 7.0 Status. Features that have already been included in 7.0 are listed below
|
As "priority 2" features, these features are not yet available in DSpace 7.x, but are still seen as a priority in an upcoming release. Nonetheless, we'd encourage community members to volunteer to help achieve any of these features. If there is community interest in moving one or more of these features forward, that feature may be moved up to "priority 1" for the next release. These features are ordered in terms of importance, but are all considered to be lower importance than the "priority 1" features listed above.
|
While these features are unscheduled at this time, we still encourage volunteers to begin to analyze or tackle them. If there is interest in moving one or more of these features forward in the nearterm, we can immediately schedule it for an upcoming release. These features are unordered, but are all considered priorities for DSpace moving forward.

While integrations are very important to DSpace, these integrations projects are "unscheduled" as of yet. Some of these integrations are "ongoing activities" (e.g. search engine optimization), while others require further definition, or their design may be affected by one or more of the candidate features listed above. Nonetheless, if there is interest in moving one or more of these features forward in the nearterm, we can immediately schedule it for an upcoming release. These integrations are unordered, but are all considered priorities for DSpace moving forward.
